   Very slick spot. Not busy during “golden hour” on a Saturday night. Good cocktails (2-for-1), tasty tuna poke app and the lobster pizza was delicious. Best of all the staff was friendly and easy-going. They made our 30th anniversary celebration special. Thx!

   Everything at The Sand Bar was exquisite! The venue oceanfront layout, the playlist, the artwork, the service and the cuisine!!! Our waitress was lovely, most pleasant and exceptional in accommodating us. The Paella was plated perfection! The salads, flatbread and pizza were delicious too!

   We had a good time with some very fun servers.(Squeak and Nick, especially!) BUT this is not a make-a reservation restaurant, per se. It is a bar with tables in the pretty lobby of a hotel. Lunch and dinner menu exactly the same, snack type foods. We had made a reservation from home, before our vacation, for our first night. They did set aside a long table for the 8 of us - but no napkins, place mats, flatware. Nothing. An empty table with a small reserved sign on it. We watched a couple come in from another hotel, also having made a reservation. They were confused and dismayed to find no well -defined, nice dinner establishment, and then sat looking at their phones sadly as they hunted for another place......

   The service was slow. There not many tables and we couldn’t understand why it was slow. Just to get a refill of water was taking too long.

   Elevated bar food experience. We had the Paella with added seafood option and the La Palma pizza with Tiger Prawns, chorizo and Cabrales cheese. We split everything between three people and it was perfect! Loved the food and want to duplicate pizza back home.

   I am trying to save you. Do NOT ever go here. Service takes forever. Plan to spend the entirely of your early evening into night here. Like as in MULTIPLE hours. Unless you have literally nothing else to do for nearly 4 hours you do not want to go here. Food is OK, absolutely not worth this even a little bit. The whole thing doesn’t make even a little bit of sense since there are so few tables here, on top of it all. I know what you’re thinking – “oh, it was probably just a fluke that one time, that won’t happen to me,” no, I am telling you, it will happen to you, you will miss whatever plans you were hoping to do later on, and I’m trying to save you from that. I was once you, and the regret is a tangible thing.

   Great evening spent with a gorgeous view, wonderful, friendly service. Food was tasty and reasonable. Would definitely recommend! We split a salad, ahi tuna appetizer and flat bread. Plenty of food for 2! Also, 2 for one drinks before 6:30!

   We’re so glad you enjoyed the view, service, and food. Great choice on the ahi tuna and flatbread—they’re favorites! Hope to welcome you back again soon for another wonderful evening.

   I'd like to leave the comments about the visit IslaBlue Bar on March 6. We choose that restaurants for Wedding celebration because of good location, nice menu and expectations of decent service since the place belong to Marriott Hotel group. First disappointment happened when we were offered table for 4, but our reservation (that we made a week before coming) required sitting for 5 PEOPLE, and waiter offered us just to add one more chair. How would  5 people with one plate each supposed to eat on little table for 4 ,I have no idea. Then, when we ordered bottle of champagne, no worker opened it for us. And moreover, no one even brought a basket with ice for bottle and it was just melting all the way on table. Without being said,no one ever came to wipe our table with puddle from condensate of bottle and food crumbs. Also no staff ever told us at least "Congratulations". We didn't expect any special treatment that day but that silence looked very dismissive. As well as the staff who was leaning on the counter at all time didn't  look interested in providing any service as well. Only things we were happy with are food and drinks, seaview and interior . Service was awful and we will never choose this restaurant and any restaurants from this group anymore.

    Service excellent. Tuna stack lacked flavor although a hearty presentation. Paella was good. Shrimp, fish and mussels were cooked well but not were incorporated into rice as is typical with paella. Would order again and ask for ingredients to mixed with rice.

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the service and paella. We appreciate your notes on the tuna stack and will share them with our team. Next time, we’d be happy to mix the ingredients more into the rice—just let us know! Hope to see you again soon.
